I have to second the bicycle pump, very easy to do and that's from experience. I've pumped up my scooters tires with a "stick style" pump from almost dead flat with fix a flat in it. Took about a minute and a half to get to 30psi, an electric pumps takes just as long or longer including set up time. Also the stick style pump is easier to store compared to a cube shaped pump.

That all being said I'd recommend a product I started using last tire change on my scooter. It's called "ride on" http://www.ride-on.com/motorcycle-formula-mot.html works like "tire slime" for puncture plugging bug it's more gel like so stays in place once slung around in the tire and balances it as a side effect. $30 for 16oz and you need only 5 oz in each tire. So enough for one front and two rears.
